Masimo W1® Medical Watch receives FDA 510(k) clearance for connectivity

Masimo announced that the Masimo W1® medical watch has received FDA 510(k) clearance for connectivity, allowing it to be integrated with the Masimo SafetyNet® comprehensive telemonitoring solution. Masimo W1 Medical received FDA clearance last year as the first medical watch to provide continuous oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) for over-the-counter and prescription use at home and in hospitals. The combination of Masimo W1 Medical and Masimo SafetyNet allows patient data, collected via the wrist, to be made available on the Masimo SafetyNet smartphone app and reviewed by remote caregivers, including by hospital clinicians on the web-based Masimo SafetyNet clinician portal.

The clinical significance of Masimo W1 Medical comes from its integrated Masimo MW-1 sensor, hardware, and software module, which incorporates Signal Extraction Technology® pulse oximetry and rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry knowledge into a single wearable module. It has an integrated optical sensor and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode pads that can be used to detect physiological signals. The Masimo MW-1 module also processes these signals using Masimo’s proprietary signal processing algorithms to output high-resolution SpO2, PR, perfusion index (Pi), and HR from an ECG.

The continuous data from the Masimo MW-1 module is displayed in real time on the Masimo W1 watch touchscreen. With the addition of Bluetooth connectivity, patients can use the Masimo SafetyNet app on their phone to input additional symptoms into CarePrograms designed by their clinicians, view their live data and trends, conduct virtual visits with clinicians, and view educational resources.

In turn, clinicians can examine data and trends and receive customized notifications within the Masimo SafetyNet clinician portal. With Masimo SafetyNet, clinicians can more easily track patient progress, tailor remote care programs to match each patient’s needs, and streamline their workflows with high-fidelity reports, rich analytics, and the integration of reliable medical data into electronic medical records (EMRs).

Testimonials

“As Director of Surgical Services Departments there has been considerable changes have occurred in my department and Anesthesia Experts has always risen to meet our demands of our facility. They have been very pro-active in meeting the increase volumes allowing us to keep our surgeons and patients very satisfied with our services.”

AR BSN 346 beds AL   

“Before AE took over the anesthesia department was described by the surgeons as the worst in the history of our hospital. The prior management company was having a cancelled surgery per day. I am happy to report there has not been one since they have taken over the department. Additionally we have seen a 905 reduction if requested preop
lab tests. The anesthesia department is now the very best hospital department in our entire facility.”

DS CEO 272 beds MS   

“Anesthesia Experts has provided consistent anesthesia providers who display a high degree of integrity, responsibility and professionalism. They have become a more valuable part of our facility and community.”

LR CEO 150 beds TX   

“Even though they are physically located 1000 miles away Anesthesia Experts just does not provide great anesthesia coverage they personally engage surgeons to increase their business. Last year my surgical volume rose by 24% and we are currently 50% ahead of last year and all of that growth is organic.”

JE FACHE CEO AL 92 bed hospital   

“Anesthesia Experts is more responsive than anyone I have dealt with. They are available by phone whenever needed and will be on site for any need or request and has been on site to address issues before we can make the request.”

SW CEO 25 beds NM   

“While problems are extremely rare when they do occur Anesthesia Experts quickly and professionally implements a solution. Our surgical volume has grown over 100 cases per month and now our GI docs want to perform all of their endoscopies in our hospital instead of their GI lab that they own!”

SP CEO 346 beds AL   

“Our anesthesia department was a thorn in my side that kept me awake at night. Anesthesia Experts swept in and brought order to our mess and our department was quickly redirected.”
